I'm new to this site. I've had dry heves since I have had the surgery. It isn't every day but enough that I'm getting concerned. It's been 4 yrs since my surgery. It saved my life, however I have new set of health issues. I don't want to be unappreciated of the extended time the surgery has added to my life. I was wondering if anyone else experiences this. I have had pancreaties, my bones are very brittle. It is the trade off that I got. I can except this. I just wanted to know if I'm the only one who has this health problem. My husband is beside his self when I go through the dry heaving because he feels helpless andhe hates to see me go through it. Sometimes it's for 20 to 30 minutes. I've not been able to vomit since the surgery. Is that normal.
